The 12-story expansion of St. Louis Children's Hospital offers consolidated services and modernized, efficient patient care. The expansion, as part of the BJC Campus Renewal Project, is joined by a fifth-floor bridge over Parkview Place, connecting labor and delivery and the level IV NICU to Barnes-Jewish Hospital's newly constructed Parkview Tower. The Children's expansion will occur in phases, starting December 2017 through March 2018.
